Topic: Hidden columns in Datatable reappear on column sort and pagination
Maybe I'm just doing it wrong?
Expected behavior
Hidden columns in Datatable remain hidden regardless of column sorting or pagination changes.
Actual behavior
Columns reappear on column sorting and pagination changes but column headers remain hidden as expected.

Aw crap! That was an artifact from a previous solution that I missed removing. Thank you for the second set of eyes! :D It works perfectly.
Datatable re-renders when you use sorting or pagination. But you can use render.mdb.datatable event and hide the columns when it is called.

Yep. I tried that but when I do it runs away and loops until the browser freezes. Any thoughts on where I can put it to avoid the endless looping?
